Thought you guys would like to know that we are getting 5 extra cars this year.

These are individually numbered, with 33 in total coming to Europe.

All I can tell you at the moment is that they are WHITE with RED leather, and the first one should be with us by June.

I'll put updates on www.C6zo6.co.uk when I get them.

any takers?

Yuck!

Good to see your percentage of Europe's deliveries increased though.

Is this becuase Corvette will be 55 years old and white with red leather is like the first one made?
Can you only get them in a Z06?
I thought Stratstone had a dealer in Luton already? Any dealers opening in Surrey or Kent yet?

I think the issue is that you can't normally get a white Z06?

I know people who've grey imported S2000s as Honda UK wouldn't sell them a white one - guess you have to really like white - each to their own!

Somehow, I can't help but think Face's corvette in the A-Team when a white 'vette is mentioned.

But that's not to say I don't like them ... I'm sure a '07 Z06 in white will look pretty fantastic, and - what's more - white is not a common colour, especially for sports cars.

So, yep - I think white will be pretty nice.

Edited to add clip of said white 'vette on youtube:

The white will only be Z06. You can order a white C6 in the States, but not in Europe

Luton is up and running now.
Newcastle has just moved to a larger showroom.
Cheltenham has closed because of site redevelopment.
Leeds is about to be relocated to a better site.
.....not that I want you to go anywhere other than parklane (as a bonus to visiting us you can go and look at the cobwebs forming in the lotus/tvr showroom around their £82000 Cerbera!)

Weybridge will be the next to open - is that an opportunity for Vet Guru?

£82k Cerbera?? I think 28K would be steep!

I seem to remember hearing something about a one off cerbera. It's pear white with graphite wheel and seems to be new and unregistered. - is it the last one that they made?

A mate had a white C4 with a red interior. I know it's all about the original colours but it cost him dearly on resale as no-one actually likes this colour combo unless there is no other option ever.

Why bother with a TVR when you can have a Z06 for 63k with Warranty and more spec than any TVR!

I like it! (although red on red is my own...)

Also, why didn't he paint the obligatory red stripe down the side. It would have been priceless...

We've registered 'your' car GT 02 UFO. It probably has the sweetest gearbox yet, other than the press Z06.
